More Information

A former Texas A&M University employee has been arrested by University Police in connection with the bomb threat at the Clayton Williams Jr. Alumni Center on Friday.

Michael Francis Thomas, of College Station, has been charged with making a terroristic threat, a third-degree felony. He was arrested in Bryan and is being held in the Brazos County Jail. A judge denied bond for the suspect.

Thomas also is a person of interest in the bomb threat at Kyle Field on Wednesday, but has not been charged in that case. Kyle Field and adjacent athletic facilities were evacuated after the bomb scare, which proved unfounded.

In an unrelated case, Thomas also was charged with credit card abuse by Texas A&M University police.

The latest investigation was launched Friday after someone discovered the word "bomb" written on a mirror in the alumni center. Police immediately evacuated the building and issued a Code Maroon alert. Police completed the search of the building and it reopened shortly after 11 a.m.

No other details were available. A press release issued by Texas A&M police did not indicate what job Thomas held at the university.
